TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Biblical Marriage

At the first wedding, God the Father gave the bride away to the groom and witnessed the couple’s interaction in his sanctuary-garden (Gen 2:18-25). Biblical marriage is a binding covenant commitment before God. Breaching that covenant (e.g., through adultery) is a sin against people and against God, who is a divine witness to and guarantor of the marriage covenant (see Mal 2:10-16; cp. Gen 39:6-9; Jer 3:1; 1 Cor 6:9-10; Heb 13:4). Although marriage is exclusive, it is not private. It is legally declared in public, with community recognition, witnesses, and accountability (see Lev 20:10-12; Deut 22:22; Jer 29:20-23).

Marriage is also a metaphor of the Lord’s relationship with his people, first with Israel (see Exod 19:3-6; 20:2-6; 34:14; Isa 54:5; Ezek 16; Hos 2:19-20), and then with the church (see 2 Cor 11:2; Eph 5:21-33). A marriage points to something greater than itself—God’s people (Christ’s “bride”) await the return of Christ (the “groom”). Married Christians are called to live in unity and dignity as they anticipate the wedding feast of the Lamb (Rev 19:6-9). Christ will live forever with his faithful people in glory (Rev 19:7; 21:2, 9).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠יִּבֶן֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהִ֧ים

and=he/it_built YHWH ʼElohīm

For many languages it is more natural here to use a pronoun to refer to Yahweh God. Do what is best in your language. After you finish translating a chapter or section, it is a good practice to read that section aloud and listen for what is the best way to refer to God and others at each place in the text. Alternate translation: “Next he” or “After that, he”

וַ⁠יִּבֶן֩ & אֶֽת הַ⁠צֵּלָ֛ע אֲשֶׁר לָקַ֥ח מִן הָֽ⁠אָדָ֖ם לְ⁠אִשָּׁ֑ה

and=he/it_built & DOM the=rib/plank which/who he/it_had_taken from/more_than the=humankind to/for=(a)_woman

See how you translated rib in verse 21 and see the note about that there. Alternate translation: “used the rib which he taken from the man to construct a woman from it,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

וַ⁠יְבִאֶ֖⁠הָ אֶל הָֽ⁠אָדָֽם

and=he/it_brought=her/it to/towards the=humankind

See how you translated brought in verse 19. Alternate translation: “Then he took her to the man.”
